we call these shotweed out here in the Pacific NW of WA because of the way the seeds shoot. we've been eating it in salads for over a month now! LOVE the peppery cress flavor!
Dina, thank you for this lesson. Your video technique makes me feel as though I am in a class with you. Thank you and God Bless you for sharing all your knowledge.
Absolutely love the way you teach, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I always look forward to your lessons. Also love that you wear “wool and linen” ❤️
Thank you!!! I’ve been wondering what this plant is for years!!💛 your videos are exceptional and you’re one of my favorite herbalists. Also out of all the herbalists I watch, my 13 yr old daughter loves yours the most.
Hello Serenity, so glad we've solved this Cardamine mystery for you. And I really appreciate the feedback... and so great that your daughter is watching / learning too!
Please just keep doing these - and start to organize your media, before it becomes out of hand - it would be amazing to have a playlist of these based on seasons or anything really - love to learn - love watching these! I have looked at this plant before, and thought I could eat it lol like most plants
I love your encouragement and enthusiasm. I do have hairy bittercress growing all about the acreage. I'm enjoying incorporating what I learn into my diet. Thank you.
Hello Jackie, thank you for your comment. I suggest you use Cardamine as you would arugula, and or watercress. So that means salads, but also in sauces (pesto, green goddess dressing, or added to soup at the end of the cooking process.
Thank you, Dina, for the thoroughness of your education, and the detail with which you address each plant. :-) Your camera angles and zoom in lens help us tremendously to identify each plant well. :-) This attention to detail is missing in so many foragers videos, entertaining as they may be. I stumbled upon your videos today and immediately subscribed! Thank you so much for educating us. :-) A nature walk with you would be so fun, rewarding, and highly nutritive! :-)
Hello Diana, thank you for appreciating the video! Yes, I really wish for folks to be able to key out the plants, and so glad that you are appreciating that! Enjoy the channel!
Dina, thank you for another great video! I appreciate your style and attention to detail. My property is covered with these little gems, and now will grace our salad and soup bowls.🌿
I too enjoy the blend of enthusiasm and straight facts in your teaching style. This is such a fascinating and exciting season. We just started raising chickens and rabbits this year, so it's been great fun to study up on local plants that they can enjoy and benefit from, as well as for our own personal use. Do you know of specific pro or cons for such animals regarding this specific plant?
@@DinaFalconi thank you for your response; I haven't found anything contraindicating it yet, just a couple articles recommending cresses in general to be used but in moderation for rabbits. I'll continue to search.
Perfect timing as usual. I will be looking for this gem as soon as the snow leaves.....should be soon. I live in the midwest, but I'm relatively sure I've seen this. It'll be interesting to find out.
Ah, please not that this is not chickweed. Here are our chickweed videos: ua-cam.com/video/Fl0TjbjINpk/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/UAapQqgvzHs/v-deo.html
@@DinaFalconiAfter watching your video I thought about it and realized they weren't the same plant. The leaves look similar however one grows as a rosette" while the other is Vine-like. Thank you for the link Dina. I will definitely watch it. 💐
Welcome! Yes, Cardamine hirsuta (cress) grows as a rosette And I would say chickweed is mounding, and prostrate / and somewhat floppy, but not so vine-y. @@Large011
Hello Susana, in the text I've included a link for the USA range, and here it is again: plants.usda.gov/home/plantProfile?symbol=CAHI3 and it does look like it is in parts of Florida. Let us know if you find any and where you are. Thanks!
Sure, you can see my bio on my website here: www.BotanicalArtsPress.com and if you have a copy of my book Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook, you can see my bio on the back cover.

@@DinaFalconi thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Dina!
Welcome.
I've been calling it artillery weed due to the seeds shooting me when bumped. 😂 I didn't realize this was an edible. Thank you so much!
Welcome...and funny: "artillery weed'!

Hello Dogslobber, thanks for your comment. Not sure, but think it would be good for rabbits and chickens.

thanks.
I made a wild cress salad for dinner last night..... delicious!
Great! Was it made from this cress: Cardamine hirsuta... or another species?
@@DinaFalconi yes. Cardimin hirsuta. It's everywhere in northeast Pennsylvania
Thank you, good to know!
Great teacher always ❤
Thank you, Marilyn!
The leaves look a bit like arugula leaves as well
Hello Nancy, thank you for your comment. Yes, and yet make sure to learn the leaves of Cardamine hirsuta before eating.
Well explanation . Thanks!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy the videos on the channel.
Perfect timing as usual. I will be looking for this gem as soon as the snow leaves.....should be soon. I live in the midwest, but I'm relatively sure I've seen this. It'll be interesting to find out.
Nice, yes, I bet you'll find it, and keep us posted!
Great
Thank you, Ieva!

Thanks!
I have been encountering and trying to ID this plant for years!
Hello Laura, glad to help! Enjoy the videos on the channel!
One tuber called this Chick weed, i did find some the other day. It tasted good.

Dina, do you know if this grows in Central Florida?
